S5 turbo on an S4 tII Engine....
Click on it....I need help..
As the title says, I need to know what has to be done to make an S5 Turbo work on an S4 TII engine....I have searched this site for the past two hours...I have come up with nothing...I was told there was a thread on here as to what modifications have to be made to make it work.....The turbo went in my TII vert' and it is getting warm around here so I gotta have her ready for warm days of topless cruising...Any help would be greatly appreciated...

You must have the corresponding year or oil lines (feed and drain) also, and the manifolds won't work. I do belive the water lines are fine tho? (can be slightly bent if needed)
for s4 to s5 turbo you need: s5 exhaust mani, both oil lines and of course the turbo itself including wastegate(7.5 psi). if you get the whole s5 turbo assy it easily swaps right in, no fuss.
If you're going to try and hack a s5 onto a s4, its going to be a pain, time consuming and costly, not to mention worthless.
Use quotes when you search, as the f'ing search now ignores too common of words.

Good luck, might want to look at getting a hybrid s4 turbo... google bnr hybrids

You just need the S5 turbocharger and exhaust manifold. The S4 oil and coolant lines will be reused, including the drain line. If you try to use an S5 oil drain line, it won't mate to the S4 front cover properly. This is the exact setup I have on my car.
Here's a pic of it bolted onto my S4 engine during the build:
I later added the S4 heat shields around the turbine housing. The inner one fits fine, but the outer one has to be cut down. The S4 exhaust manifold heat shield won't fit due to obvious shape differences.

1. S5 exhaust manifold
2. S5 turbo
3. all oil/coolant lines are exactly the same, almost 100% positive. all coolant lines are banjo fittings. All oil lines are flange fittings.
DP gasket you need is here http://www.mazdatrix.com/getprice.as...m=13-4910-N370
Oil inlet gasket here http://www.mazdatrix.com/getprice.as...m=14-2760-N386
Oil outlet gasket you need is here, 2 needed http://www.mazdatrix.com/getprice.as...m=14-2930-N385
Gasket needed for coolant inlet from LIM found here http://www.mazdatrix.com/getprice.as...m=13-5350-N386
Gasket for exhaust manifold to turbo here http://www.mazdatrix.com/getprice.as...m=13-710A-N370
Gasket for exhaust manifold to engine found here http://www.mazdatrix.com/getprice.as...m=13-4610-N386
bolt that thing up and get a fuel cut defender (AKA FCD)

Stop spreading misinformation! The above posts covered exactly what the OP wanted. For one the S4/S5 turbos are exactly the same. It is only the manifolds that are different. For two the oil lines between S4/S5 ARE different and need to remain S4 if swapping an S5 turbo onto an S4 motor. If you don't know what you are talking about... Don't post!

I meant the lines he needs for the swap are already presently on the motor because he has a S4 TII block.
i believe i know what im talking about as i myself have done this swap.
lemme be a lot more exact for the above member, keep all oil/coolant lines from your s4.
Every line except for the oil outlet pipe at the bottom of the turbo on the S5 is different, but only where it bolts to the front cover.
P.S. calm down bro i didn't give false/wrong info just wasn't completely clear in my post.

i'm porting my s4 waste gate right now, and i have a feeling that it's not going be enough to stop creep, but i'm giving it a shot because it's practically free. so this is something i've been looking into for quite sometime now.. but anyway why not just go with a bnr hybrid? -it's probably the best quality, and it can leave lots of room down the road for future improvements. i can't even find any s5 turbo's for sale let alone a just the exhaust housing by itself.

Just about every custom turbo setup out there uses custom braided lines, so something isn't right. Either the lines you used wer not rated for high heat, or the routing took it way too close to the turbine housing. Heat shields or heat wrap would surely help as well.

So if any one has done this to the FC please let me know where you got the hose.
